Crazy Mary is a play by A.R. Gurney (The Dining Room; Mrs. Farnsworth; The Cocktail Hour) that had its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons in New York City from May 11-June 17, 2007. The play will feature ^{[Anachronism]} Sigourney Weaver (Aliens; Working Girl; Gorillas in the Mist) and Kristine Nielsen (Miss Witherspoon;, Our Leading Lady). Scenic Design was by John Lee Beatty (The Color Purple; Chicago; Talley's Folly). Costume Design was by Claudia Brown (Blue in the Face; Psych). Lighting Design was by Brian Aldous (Mrs. Farnsworth; Blue Man Group: Tubes). Sound Design was by Jill BC DuBoff. Production Stage Manager was Janet Takami. The play is directed by Jim Simpson (Mrs. Farnsworth; Psych) and took place on PH's Mainstage Theater.

Crazy Mary concerns the scion of a wealthy Buffalo, NY clan and her willful, college-aged son who, in an attempt to account for the family inheritance, visit their long lost cousin Mary. The catch: Mary is living in an asylum, and has barely spoken in years, forcing mother and son to employ radical ends to get through.
